K.T. McFarland | Former Deputy National Security Advisor Speaks on Latest Developments in Ilhan Omar Investigation & More · Sid & Friends In The Morning

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: When asked whether or not she married her brother today,
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: they asked her, did you marry your brother?
• 0:07
  Speaker 2: She said, not to my knowledge. That's one of the
• 0:14
  Speaker 2: worst answers I think I've ever heard. You know, I've
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: heard some bad political answers. I could go over a
• 0:20
  Speaker 2: lot of them, but that would be about the worst.
• 0:23
  Speaker 2: Not to my knowledge.
• 0:24
  Speaker 3: I don't think so.
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: Do you have children with your brother? I'm not sure.
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: Well, if you ask me that same question about, let's say,
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: my sister, I would say no. She said not to
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: my knowledge. That tells you a lot right there. No,
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: she's I've never been a big fan of hers. I'll
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: be honest. Let's see how it all works out. But
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: that statement tells you a lot.
• 0:49
  Speaker 4: Pretty often we're reminded why President Trump is not just
• 0:52
  Speaker 4: the best leader we've ever had, but Far and away
• 0:55
  Speaker 4: the funniest and most charismatic president ever.
• 0:57
  Speaker 3: It's not even close. You can argue Reagan all.
• 1:00
  Speaker 4: Day long, and KT worked for both of those gentlemen,
• 1:02
  Speaker 4: but Reagan on his best day wasn't nearly as funny
• 1:05
  Speaker 4: as Trump. Maybe in closed-door meetings with KT, but this
• 1:08
  Speaker 4: guy's a riot Trump.
• 1:10
  Speaker 3: He's a riot.
• 1:12
  Speaker 4: But it's easier to be a riot when the Democrats
• 1:16
  Speaker 4: are lunatics. I mean, this Ilhan Omar, he should be
• 1:20
  Speaker 4: deported tomorrow. Back to Somalia tomorrow. This girl married her brother.
• 1:28
  Speaker 4: Stole millions and millions of dollars. That big fraud operation
• 1:33
  Speaker 4: with the Somalians in Minnesota. There's enough on her to
• 1:37
  Speaker 4: get her out of here forever. And remember this. Mamdani, Hochul,
• 1:42
  Speaker 4: all these Democrats in New York. Who are they defending? Her.
• 1:48
  Speaker 3: The whole morning.
• 1:50
  Speaker 4: Joe and Mika, two of the worst people God ever created.
• 1:53
  Speaker 4: What a fool Joe Scarborough has become. All they're talking
• 1:58
  Speaker 4: about is this Vivek Ramaswamy ad. They don't know what
• 2:01
  Speaker 4: else to do. You're 11 days away from the midterms.
• 2:06
  Speaker 4: Tell us why people like Elon Omar and the lady
• 2:10
  Speaker 4: that Ramaswamy is running against, or El Sayed, tell us
• 2:15
  Speaker 4: why these lunatics should win.
• 2:18
  Speaker 3: Other than Trump hates them, so they got to be
• 2:21
  Speaker 3: good people.
• 2:22
  Speaker 5: Right?
• 2:23
  Speaker 3: That's it. Trump, Sid hates them. They got to be
• 2:26
  Speaker 3: good people. I mean, I don't know. KT, they just...
• 2:30
  Speaker 3: They got nothing. And they may win. They may win big.
• 2:33
  Speaker 3: They may beat us up pretty good. I hope not.
• 2:37
  Speaker 3: I pray to God, no. But they may. And yet,
• 2:40
  Speaker 3: you never, ever, ever hear a message. Do you, Katie?
• 2:46
  Speaker 5: No. And, you know, why is that? It's because the
• 2:49
  Speaker 5: Joes and Makers of the World just hate Trump so much.
• 2:52
  Speaker 5: They can't possibly, like any Republicans, and they want to
• 2:56
  Speaker 5: shame him in the midterms, and they just overlook the
• 3:00
  Speaker 5: fact that he's completely changed world trade. He set America
• 3:04
  Speaker 5: up for a golden age of peace and prosperity with
• 3:08
  Speaker 5: a tech boom and an energy boom, which is going
• 3:11
  Speaker 5: to put us, propel us. It's not just quantum computing
• 3:14
  Speaker 5: that requires a lot of energy. It's going to cause
• 3:17
  Speaker 5: a quantum leap. Whoever gets to AI first is a
• 3:20
  Speaker 5: quantum leap. And right now we're ahead of the Chinese,
• 3:24
  Speaker 5: but they're catching up. And then everybody else is a
• 3:26
  Speaker 5: distant third. We're the only country, though, that has, in
• 3:30
  Speaker 5: addition to tech, we also have cheap energy. And quantum
• 3:34
  Speaker 5: computing and AI and tech, they need a lot more
• 3:37
  Speaker 5: energy than we currently have even. And so the country
• 3:40
  Speaker 5: with cheap energy and technology is the country that is
• 3:43
  Speaker 5: going to control the future. And that's what Trump's setting
• 3:46
  Speaker 5: us up for. And they can't see it because they
• 3:48
  Speaker 5: just hate him so much. They just won't get past that.
• 3:52
  Speaker 5: But on the other hand, let's say Trump does get
• 3:54
  Speaker 5: wiped out in the midterms. Republicans lose both houses. I
• 3:58
  Speaker 5: don't think it's going to happen. But if it does happen,
• 4:00
  Speaker 5: it's not going to make that much of a difference.
• 4:02
  Speaker 5: It's not going to derail all of the things that
• 4:05
  Speaker 5: President Trump has already put in. He was smart this
• 4:08
  Speaker 5: time around. First time around, he went after health care first.
• 4:12
  Speaker 5: He should have gone after taxes. He didn't. Second time around,
• 4:16
  Speaker 5: at the very beginning, he went for energy dominance. Tax
• 4:19
  Speaker 5: and regulatory reform. And that is going to be what
• 4:23
  Speaker 5: pays off in the future. And they can't undo it.
• 4:26
  Speaker 5: They can't. You know, what are they going to do?
• 4:28
  Speaker 5: Reopen the borders? They can't do anything in Congress without
• 4:31
  Speaker 5: Trump's approval. And he's not going to approve any of this.
• 4:34
  Speaker 5: He's not going to give Greenland back. No, he's not
• 4:36
  Speaker 5: going to say that as well. You keep your oil.
• 4:39
  Speaker 5: He's not going to say, oh, let's reopen the border.
• 4:43
  Speaker 5: He can't do it. Congress can't do any of that stuff.
• 4:45
  Speaker 5: So they will do 24-7 impeachment. Absolutely. But Trump's been
• 4:50
  Speaker 5: to that movie. He knows how to handle impeachment now.
• 4:52
  Speaker 4: But here's the difference, and I agree with you politically.
• 4:55
  Speaker 3: Politically, it's not going to make a big deal. But
• 4:58
  Speaker 3: he has been impeached.
• 4:59
  Speaker 4: And I told you this last week, and I know
• 5:01
  Speaker 4: this for a fact because I've got people on the inside.
• 5:03
  Speaker 3: I know you do, too.
• 5:04
  Speaker 4: He is deathly afraid, deathly afraid the president will never
• 5:07
  Speaker 4: say it. I'm telling you what happens to his kids.
• 5:11
  Speaker 4: What happens to his buddies? This didn't happen the first time.
• 5:14
  Speaker 4: This time around, these animals will go after everybody.
• 5:18
  Speaker 3: Heck, I could be subpoenaed. You could be subpoenaed. And
• 5:21
  Speaker 3: the president is nervous about that.
• 5:24
  Speaker 5: Yes, and here's why it makes a big difference. It
• 5:28
  Speaker 5: won't only be while he's president. Because let's say you
• 5:32
  Speaker 5: get a subpoena, Sid, and you want to go before
• 5:35
  Speaker 5: the House committee of something or other about something. And
• 5:38
  Speaker 5: you just say, no, I'm not going to go. And
• 5:40
  Speaker 5: so because, you know, they're going to just try to
• 5:42
  Speaker 5: kill you. And so you say, no, I'm not going
• 5:44
  Speaker 5: to go. I'm going to defy the subpoena. So then
• 5:46
  Speaker 5: that House Democrat House committee can refer to the Trump
• 5:50
  Speaker 5: Justice Department and say, well, we want to prosecute Sid
• 5:53
  Speaker 5: Rosenberg for this crime. What are they going to do?
• 5:56
  Speaker 5: They're not going to prosecute. The reason that Steve Bannon
• 6:00
  Speaker 5: and Peter Navarro, who did the same thing, they defied
• 6:02
  Speaker 5: the subpoenas. The reason they went to jail is the
• 6:05
  Speaker 5: Biden administration. Justice Department couldn't wait to prosecute them. The
• 6:08
  Speaker 5: Trump Justice Department won't. The problem will become after President
• 6:13
  Speaker 5: Trump leaves office. And it won't be because anybody that
• 6:16
  Speaker 5: they really think Sid Rosenberg has committed a crime. They'll
• 6:19
  Speaker 5: just subpoena everybody, knowing that to defend yourself, you go bankrupt.
• 6:24
  Speaker 5: It cost me a million dollars to defend myself against
• 6:28
  Speaker 5: crimes that the Justice Department knew I hadn't committed.
• 6:31
  Speaker 3: Is that right?
• 6:31
  Speaker 5: The Russia hoax.
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 6:32
  Speaker 5: And I didn't get reimbursed for any of that.
• 6:35
  Speaker 4: Wow.
• 6:36
  Speaker 3: A million dollars and no reimbursement. Yeah.
• 6:40
  Speaker 4: So then I start to wonder, you're right, when he's
• 6:43
  Speaker 4: no longer president. And then I start to think, well,
• 6:45
  Speaker 4: what about the midterms in 11 days? I was taught
• 6:48
  Speaker 4: when I was in rehab and recovery, one.
• 6:50
  Speaker 3: Day at a time, right? Don't look ahead a day,
• 6:52
  Speaker 3: let alone two years.
• 6:54
  Speaker 4: But then, if that's going to be the case, how
• 6:56
  Speaker 4: important is it that Rubio or Vance or Cruz, I
• 7:00
  Speaker 4: don't know, that a Republican wins when Trump has to
• 7:05
  Speaker 4: step away?
• 7:06
  Speaker 5: It's very important. And why I think it will happen is,
• 7:10
  Speaker 5: if I'm right... And we are heading for an age
• 7:13
  Speaker 5: of tech boom and economic prosperity. And, you know, $ 30
• 7:16
  Speaker 5: trillion is being invested in new factory bills in the
• 7:20
  Speaker 5: United States. There'll be a jobs boom. There'll be a
• 7:24
  Speaker 5: tech boom. There'll be an economic boom. And what will
• 7:29
  Speaker 5: happen then is that we'll start seeing this probably in
• 7:32
  Speaker 5: six months, certainly within a year, of the economy will
• 7:34
  Speaker 5: start growing rapidly like it did for Reagan starting in
• 7:38
  Speaker 5: about 1984. And then by 2028, when another election comes,
• 7:46
  Speaker 5: what are you going to have? You're going to have
• 7:47
  Speaker 5: a Trump. You're going to have a strong, strong, strong economy.
• 7:51
  Speaker 5: And the Iran war will be done one way or another.
• 7:53
  Speaker 5: It'll be finished. And then you're going to have a
• 7:55
  Speaker 5: Republican candidate who's going to run on Trump's policies and
• 7:59
  Speaker 5: his record versus who's going to be a Democrat nominee.
• 8:02
  Speaker 5: It's going to be some communist. So you're going to
• 8:04
  Speaker 5: have some loony communist candidate. who's going to run against
• 8:07
  Speaker 5: somebody who promises peace and prosperity. I think like 2028
• 8:10
  Speaker 5: looks good.
• 8:11
  Speaker 3: God, I hope you're right.
• 8:12
  Speaker 4: And you said last week, I think you're right about
• 8:14
  Speaker 4: that too, that right after election day in both America
• 8:16
  Speaker 4: and Israel, yes, I'm America first, Israel second. Calm down,
• 8:20
  Speaker 4: you anti-Semites, that both of these guys may put a
• 8:24
  Speaker 4: whooping on the other side, you.
• 8:26
  Speaker 3: Know, obviously Trump with Iran. So I had Alex.
• 8:29
  Speaker 4: Treyman on a couple of days ago because this Tuesday, right,
• 8:32
  Speaker 4: our elections are next Tuesday. This Tuesday is, is the
• 8:35
  Speaker 4: big Israel election. Will Bibi Netanyahu retain power? He can
• 8:39
  Speaker 4: do it two ways. If he wins, obviously, but also
• 8:43
  Speaker 4: if he doesn't lose, which is a possibility. So we're
• 8:46
  Speaker 4: hoping Bibi retains power on Tuesday. But I said to Alex,
• 8:49
  Speaker 4: I said, my friend Katie McFarlane said she expects both
• 8:53
  Speaker 4: guys to go right back to work on the opposition
• 8:56
  Speaker 4: the day after Election Day.
• 8:58
  Speaker 3: What do you think? He's in Israel. He agreed.
• 9:03
  Speaker 5: That's interesting because no matter who wins, I think Bibi
• 9:06
  Speaker 5: will win. But even if he doesn't win, the other
• 9:09
  Speaker 5: candidates who are running, who might have a chance, they're
• 9:12
  Speaker 5: all going to continue to prosecute the Iran war. The
• 9:15
  Speaker 5: difference will be this time. Saudi Arabia and the Gulf
• 9:19
  Speaker 5: Arabs join.
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: Right. Right.
• 9:21
  Speaker 4: Saudi Arabia. That will be Saudi Arabia. Do you think
• 9:25
  Speaker 4: they are just moments away from joining the Abraham Accords?
• 9:30
  Speaker 5: This is why the whole thing started three years ago.
• 9:34
  Speaker 5: The Saudi leader, Mohammed bin Salman, went on with Brett
• 9:38
  Speaker 5: Baer and he said, we're about to sign the Abraham
• 9:40
  Speaker 5: Accords in a few weeks. Bibi went on and said, yeah,
• 9:43
  Speaker 5: we are all about to sign the Abraham Accords in
• 9:45
  Speaker 5: a few weeks with the Saudis. What did Iran do?
• 9:47
  Speaker 5: That's Iran's worst nightmare, that the Saudis would join the
• 9:51
  Speaker 5: Abraham Accords. So that's when Iran unleashed Hamas against the
• 9:57
  Speaker 5: Israeli women and children and had the big slaughter happen
• 9:59
  Speaker 5: on it. 7th, because Iran wanted to sabotage Saudi Arabia
• 10:04
  Speaker 5: joining the Abraham Accords. Now, Iran has spent three years
• 10:09
  Speaker 5: getting defeated one step after another, and they will eventually
• 10:11
  Speaker 5: lose this war. And then what'll happen? The Saudis will
• 10:15
  Speaker 5: join the Abraham Accords.
• 10:16
  Speaker 3: I agree.
• 10:16
  Speaker 5: And Iran will have brought about its worst nightmare.
• 10:19
  Speaker 3: I love it.
• 10:19
  Speaker 4: Hey, you all caught up in this Vivek Ramaswamy ad and, uh,
• 10:23
  Speaker 4: The lady he's running against who claims she was raped
• 10:26
  Speaker 4: for three years, which is awful, by her stepfather. But
• 10:29
  Speaker 4: then her estranged mother comes out and goes, she's a liar.
• 10:33
  Speaker 4: So Vivek opted to run the ad. I'm not sure
• 10:36
  Speaker 4: I would have, but I'm okay with Trump and Vance
• 10:39
  Speaker 4: defending him.
• 10:40
  Speaker 3: Any thoughts on this?
• 10:43
  Speaker 5: You know, it's a judgment call. I know Vivek. I
• 10:46
  Speaker 5: really think he's terrific. He'll make a magnificent governor. He's
• 10:49
  Speaker 5: going to win anyway. I might not have done it,
• 10:52
  Speaker 5: but on the other hand, this is a dirty, nasty business.
• 10:56
  Speaker 5: And as President Trump says, the other day when he
• 10:59
  Speaker 5: sort of neglected or sort of dodged endorsing the vice
• 11:04
  Speaker 5: president for 28, Trump likes to see people fight it
• 11:08
  Speaker 5: out in the arena. He thinks it toughens you up
• 11:10
  Speaker 5: and you need to be tough. in the political business. So,
• 11:13
  Speaker 5: you know, I think you need to be tough. You've
• 11:15
  Speaker 5: got to be willing to take the body blows and
• 11:17
  Speaker 5: the knives in the back and in the front.
• 11:19
  Speaker 4: He does like that, but I don't know, man, KT.
• 11:22
  Speaker 4: He's never said a word to me about this. I
• 11:24
  Speaker 4: don't know if he really likes him. I mean, let's
• 11:26
  Speaker 4: be honest. This is an Oprah fact.
• 11:27
  Speaker 3: It's a fact. When they talked to Iran before they
• 11:29
  Speaker 3: started Epic Fury, Vance.
• 11:32
  Speaker 4: Was a pain in the ass. Like, they had screaming matches.
• 11:35
  Speaker 4: Vance disagreed with President Trump. Vance is never on Israel's side. Never,
• 11:40
  Speaker 4: no matter what he says. And he's still friends with
• 11:43
  Speaker 4: Tucker Carlson and President Trump and Tucker Carlson. And he
• 11:46
  Speaker 4: he actually refused to endorse Bibi the other day when
• 11:49
  Speaker 4: President Trump did do it. So, I mean, I don't
• 11:51
  Speaker 4: know how many times could you be on the opposite
• 11:55
  Speaker 4: side of your boss? You're the VP and expect the boss,
• 11:59
  Speaker 4: a guy like Trump, to really like you.
• 12:03
  Speaker 5: You know, we still have two years left in this administration.
• 12:06
  Speaker 5: There's a lot of things that are going to happen.
• 12:09
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I think you're right about that.
• 12:10
  Speaker 5: Just think about this, Sid. In the 2016 election, at
• 12:15
  Speaker 5: this point, two years before, nobody even thought Donald Trump
• 12:18
  Speaker 5: was going to run.
• 12:19
  Speaker 3: I didn't. Neither did he.
• 12:21
  Speaker 5: Yeah, right. Neither did he. Exactly. So there's just a
• 12:24
  Speaker 5: lot that could happen in the next two years.
• 12:27
  Speaker 3: Is Rubio going to run? What do you think?
• 12:30
  Speaker 5: I don't know. He's such an experience. I've known him
• 12:33
  Speaker 5: for a long time. About 15 years ago when Obama
• 12:37
  Speaker 5: was president and Obama wanted to recognize Cuba, Marco Rubio
• 12:41
  Speaker 5: wanted to make a statement anti-Obama that we shouldn't recognize Cuba.
• 12:46
  Speaker 5: And so he asked me to do a sort of
• 12:48
  Speaker 5: a staged interview with him with a lot of cameras around.
• 12:51
  Speaker 5: We did it at the Women's National Republican Club. And
• 12:53
  Speaker 5: the two of us, Rubio and I, were both walking
• 12:56
  Speaker 5: up the back staircase to get to the room that
• 12:59
  Speaker 5: we were going to use. And I was stunned. All
• 13:02
  Speaker 5: along the back staircase were lined up all of the
• 13:05
  Speaker 5: Hispanic Americans who worked at that club. They were the waiters.
• 13:09
  Speaker 5: They were the maids, the cleaning ladies, the servers. And
• 13:13
  Speaker 5: they stood almost like at attention. And some of the
• 13:16
  Speaker 5: women were crying. They just wanted a glance at Marco
• 13:19
  Speaker 5: Rubio as the embodiment of what they can do and
• 13:22
  Speaker 5: what their children could do. I found it a profoundly
• 13:26
  Speaker 5: moving experience.
• 13:27
  Speaker 4: Coming out of Cuba, of course, AOC is in Maine.
• 13:30
  Speaker 4: She was doubling down yesterday on transgender rights. And still
• 13:35
  Speaker 4: a lot of polls that I look at have her
• 13:37
  Speaker 4: right there. her or Kamala Harris or Pete Buttigieg to
• 13:40
  Speaker 4: be the Democrat nominee in 2028. And I'm barely doing this, OK?
• 13:45
  Speaker 4: It's not because I'm a misogynist. I'm the last guy
• 13:48
  Speaker 4: who's that, OK?
• 13:49
  Speaker 3: I love women. Women are smarter.
• 13:51
  Speaker 4: You're better. I got no problem saying that. I'm anything
• 13:53
  Speaker 4: but a chauvinist. But this girl's a moron. I'm sorry, Katie.
• 13:56
  Speaker 4: I know she's accomplished a lot.
• 13:58
  Speaker 5: A lot.
• 13:59
  Speaker 4: I got to give her credit for that, I guess.
• 14:00
  Speaker 4: But every time she speaks, she sounds like a moron.
• 14:03
  Speaker 4: She's going to be the presidential hopeful for the Democrats?
• 14:07
  Speaker 5: Wouldn't you love to see the debate between her and,
• 14:10
  Speaker 5: pick your candidate, Ted Cruz, DeSantis, Rubio, Vance. I mean,
• 14:16
  Speaker 5: they'd eat her alive.
• 14:17
  Speaker 3: That would be ridiculous. All right, last one.
• 14:21
  Speaker 4: 11 days away. You're in Nassau County. How are you
• 14:25
  Speaker 4: feeling about our guy, Bruce Blakeman?
• 14:28
  Speaker 5: I'm feeling great. We've got a yard sign up. I think,
• 14:32
  Speaker 5: you know, if there's anybody who's got a chance at
• 14:36
  Speaker 5: defeating The Democrat machine, it's him. I just hope the
• 14:40
  Speaker 5: election results are in that night. I'm going to get
• 14:43
  Speaker 5: really nervous if all of a sudden we hear, well,
• 14:46
  Speaker 5: Blake was ahead. You know, we haven't counted all the
• 14:49
  Speaker 5: votes yet.
• 14:50
  Speaker 4: Oh, boy, you're so right about that. My friend Tom
• 14:52
  Speaker 4: Sullivan got screwed. running for assembly two years ago with that.
• 14:55
  Speaker 3: He went to bed. He won and sent him with Trump.
